Today (10 March) marks the anniversary of the premiere first episode of ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ on The WB in 1997. Even after its ending in 2003, ‘Buffy’ remains a beloved show for fans around the world— and holds a special place of significance for LGBTQ+ fans for its groundbreaking portrayal of queer relationships and themes, particularly through the relationship between characters Willow Rosenberg (Alyson Hannigan) and Tara Maclay (Amber Benson). In Season 4 Episode 19, ‘New Moon Rising’, Willow confides in Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) about navigating complex feelings, and about her feelings for Tara— a scene that fans champion for its compassion and nuance, as well as for Buffy’s genuine and understanding reaction. 📷 20th Century Fox Television / The Walt Disney Company #BuffyTheVampireSlayer #WillowRosenberg #LGBTQIA #wlw #TV
